Had my surgery 11/29 I started out at 252lbs and I'm down to 164. It's been quite the journey some days better then others. Over all I'm so glad I has the gastric bypass surgery. I tell everyone that it was the best choice I ever made. I feel so much better and my blood pressure is under control. I am continuing my journey:-)

Start walking, it's best thin you can do. Also, the best advice I was given and I am going to give to you is follow your doctor and nutritionist orders. It's very important. I had some hard times with Vitamins but I am good now. Everyone is different and try not compare yourself with anyone. Your on you own new journey. Best of luck to you!

I go in spurts with the exercise. In the beginning walking is the best. I walked everyday or the gas would kill me. I would take my time and many breaks but if I didn't walk then I would be in pain. I found if I worked out he weight flew off. Now that I'm working more I have been slacking off my exercising but I need to get back into it. I did a 5k a few weeks ago. I walked most of it but ran the end. I felt great and I can't wait to do it again!

That's great! I agree with you it does feel wonderful. I am starting to train for a 1/2 marathon in September. I was going to for the flying pig in Cincinnati next may but found out it the same weekend the twins recieved Holy Communion. I am just happy I found another one though. I perfer to walk right know. I already had 2 operations on my knees when I was younger.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
